All this talk of Plague Inc. Evolved . . . you do realize Pandemic 2 came out in 2008, right? Thus, I'm pretty sure it didn't copy Plague Inc -- additionally, Plague Inc. Evolved SHOULD be much better as it had many great predecessors to imitate. Unfortunately P.I.E. isn't offering the badge of the day though. :)

The US closed airports and shipyards before it even arrived in the US and before a single person died from it. We all know now that wouldn't happen.

The biggest problem I have with the realism is that countries wouldn't easily shut down borders. The common cold has been around and yet most borders are open (the closed ones for other reasons). So really until someone dies, it's hard to imagine borders being shut down. Even swine flu and ebola didn't fully shut down borders. Just one specific country had screenings into the other.

Rene, when the Martial Law is declared, it means that the military becomes the government. The leaders of the military now become the leaders of the country.

"Government of Madagascar shuts down airports due to safety concerns." Anyone else see what's wrong with this sentence?

you have to feel bad for those few ships and planes who got stuck just zipping around the map because all the ports are closed

Wow, I wasn't even expecting to get this again. I was just going for the Apocalyptic Optimist badge.
But, using Nauto's guide, I got both badges on my second try on Realistic. :D
Congratulations! You just won the President Madagascar Assassin Badge and 60 points!

1.) Pick Virus. 2) Start in Canada, New Zealand, Cuba, Greenland, West Europe, or Madagascar. If you do not get there restart. 3) Sell the starting symptoms, and buy sneezing (unless it is what you started with, just keep it). 4) Buy 1-1-1-0 resistances but no transmissions (they trigger closures). 5) Once four countries are infected, sell sneezing to get rid of visibility. 6) Wait until all countries are infected. If Madagascar closes its shipyards/borders or is not infected in 30 days, restart. 7) Buy all four drug resistances AND sneezing, coughing, and vomiting. 8) After a few days, unlock tiers 2-3, (do not buy tier 4 ever!) keeping whatever symptoms it gives you. 9) Buy fever, fatigue, diarrhea, pulmonary edema, and hypersensitivity. Then save for kidney failure and ataxia. 10) keep this comment alive. (this comment was originally posted by Nauto98001, I'm just trying to keep it alive. Give him your thanks and gratitude, not me!)

It would be cool if you added another direction for countries. Such as looting, rioting, the goverment collasping into chaos, ect. It would add a good twist, and help make it more realistic.

I feel a little spark of hope every time I see a ship enter Madagascar, only for it to be crushed every time it's not infected.

Seriously? I finally get Madagascar, and Peru is putting up a fight? They can stop rats carrying my parasites into the land from their infected neighbours? Noooooooooooo :(((

I see a boat heading toward Madagascar. "Finally, the whole world will be infected." The boat takes a sharp turn away from Madagascar and they shut down their shipyards. "Well, time to start over AGAIN."

How the hell are they gonna deploy vaccine without reopening means of travel which also implies more chance for pandemic to increase?

may I say I love the fact that when made an exact replica of the common cold, EVERYONE IS CLOSING BORDERS, CANCELING SHIPMENTS, NO FLYING, AND WORST OF ALL DONT BREATH THE AIR

I feel bad for the people on those ships when all the shipyards are closed and they are floating around in the ocean.
